As Australian billionaire Clive Palmer relaunches plans to build a replica of the notorious titantic which sunk with more than 2,200 people on board in 1912, questions arise as to why he would embark upon such an ambitious project. The original tragedy inspired James Cameron’s blockbuster “Titanic” and has fascinated amateur explorers for decades; however, one mission ended tragically last year when all five passengers aboard the Titan submersible were killed en route to the wreckage site. Despite this calamitous streak, Palmer remains undaunted by titantic’s fate as he first floated his dream of building a more buoyant version of the ill-fated ship over ten years ago during which time it was viewed with skepticism due to its eccentricity and wealth. However, headwinds caused by the pandemic hit in 2018 when ports closed, and passengers reevaluated their risk appetite for quarantine at sea halting work on palmer’s project until now that cruises are back underway once again. Blue Star Line Company Chairman Clive Palmer announced during a recent press briefing held against the background of Sydney Opera House in view of Australia’s bustling seascapes: “After encountering unprecedented challenges globally, we have resumed our efforts to bring Titanic ll into reality.” According to reports, he added that following several setbacks owing mainly to Covid epidemic related restrictions and closures, the time is now right for his titantic dream. Blue Star Line intends to choose a shipbuilder by year’s end before beginning construction work in early 2025. The company has invited proposals from potential partners across Europe as Palmer does not believe that Chinese standards are up to par with those required of the project. At its relaunch, palmer and his team unveiled an eight-minute video showcasing a layout for the ship’s interior design complete with actors dressed in period costumes representing each room on board. Passengers will be encouraged but not mandated to dress according to 1900 fashion trends while dining options include stew and mash served at long tables, as was customary aboard the original vessel; however, other meal choices would also be available for passengers seeking a less authentic experience. The new titanic’s length will measure around 269 meters (833 feet), which is slightly wider than its predecessor measuring approximately 32.2 meters (105 feet) in width as opposed to the original, making it nearly twice that of its doomed relative: capacitated to transport around two and a quarter thousand people split between nine decks with eight hundred thirty-five cabins almost half reserved for first class passengers while third class guests will be served meals communally at long tables. Palmer intends on replicating the titanic’s opulence without its tragic end, believing that by doing so he can promote peace among nations worldwide: “We all know how to make war; we get armies and fund wars. People understand this process well enough,” palmer said in a press release, adding that promoting peace requires continuous effort every day as progress is achieved slowly inch-by-inch while “Titanic ll would serve the people’s interest by becoming a ship of Peace for all nations around the globe.”
